    Shane and others are not confirming yet, but it is up on other sites.

    Yea, here's the statement released by Taylor, according to TI...

    “After carefully considering the amazing opportunities in front of me, I am committing to play football for the University of Alabama and enroll in January. I appreciate the support of my family, friends, teachers, and coaches who have always helped and supported me. While there were many factors to my decision, ultimately I want to play Nose Guard for Alabama whose fierce and dedicated defenses are a tradition in this state and around the nation”

    “I maintain a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Fisher and the Florida State Seminoles.”

  • Corey Dowlar (FSU 247 guy) just said, I expect Alphonse Taylor to commit to Alabama today. Thinking a press release, or something of the sort, will be coming out at some point.

  • Guess that takes us out of the McCullers sweepstakes. I was really hoping we would land him but AT will fit well in our defense as well.

  • No sweat. I believe it was shown this year that we don't really need much help
    on the o-line.

    Fantastic.

    For some reason I was leaning the other way on him this past week.

    Alexander, Collins, and Goldman left to go hopefully. Maybe Winston if we are feeling frisky.

    Kwon is not in the fold.

    Yup

    We signed 8 kids last year

    According to some FSU fans we're golden

    Bunch of first year players ? Please, no sweat

    18 year olds with no hair on their balls ? Not a problem

    Kids with zero offers ? Diamond in the rough that everybody else missed on

    I need to visit neverland one day, place sounds amazing

    We haven't had room for him in quite a while. He probably means Jenkins.

  • lol, congrats Bama. Hopefully you guys' scouting report turns out to not be true.

  • glad he is playing nose guard for us, bc he did not look good at tackle.

  • I guess I'm glad to have him in this class but I just don't see him at the NG position for us. Seemed to get beat up there during the AL/MS all-star practices and game. IDK, hope I'm wrong or he changes his mind and decides he won't mind playing OL for us.

    Edit: seeing the post just above mine shows that we really have no clue what to think about this guy.

    haha win/win for you nova, you don't like Taylor but another opportunity to rip on trickett. Taylor will more than likely be a casuality at bama or any other place, kid has weight and likely work ethic issues

    I was thinking Kwon when I said it, but I did mean Jenkins. Had a brain fart and I knew there was another LB on the board. Kwon just came out.

    Most fans (bama's and fsu's included) are stupid and their "evaluations/ scouting report" (excuses for getting beaten on a recruit) don't mean stih. CNS and staff were always very high on Taylor. That is why they have continued to recruit him and obviously turned him.

    Yeah well the kid is extremely out of shape

    And right now he sucks imo

    He could get better but if didn't want to play OL then peace out

    We don't need a huge fat ass at DT right now

    We need one at guard

    Big nose guards are pretty important to us.

    No doubt

    You turn DT's into all americans

    We turn OG's with size into hospital patients or they quit after 3 hours
